Apple is unlikely to release any new Macs or iPads
for the remainder of 2023

Apple is unlikely to release any new Macs or iPads for the remainder of
2023, according to a series of predictions shared in recent weeks by
analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Last month, Kuo said Apple was unlikely to release any new MacBooks with
the M3 chip this year.

All existing MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models are equipped with M2 series
chips, so any new models would presumably be equipped with M3 chips, which
effectively means that Kuo does not expect any new MacBooks at all for the
rest of 2023.

Earlier this week, Kuo added that the 24-inch iMac would be updated next in
2024, ruling out an update to the all-in-one desktop computer this year.

All other desktop Macs, including the Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro,
were already updated in 2023 and are highly unlikely to be updated again
until 2024 or later.

iPads
Last month, Kuo said Apple was unlikely to release any new iPad models
before the end of 2023.

Apple has yet to release any new iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini, or
entry-level iPad models this year.

If that trend continues for the remainder of 2023 as expected, it would be
the first calendar year with no new iPads released in the device's 13-year
history.

And?

Who cares?

I do.

This iMac is a 2012 model (i7 quad-core, HT) that is remarkably good for
its age except in one area: video rendering at higher resolutions. All
other uses from photo editing to compiling code to running other OS' in
VM's, it is as fine today as it was when I got it.

The 24" M1 iMac hits low for my needs, and if I've waited this long then
waiting for the M3 suits me too. But I was hoping it would be by the
end of 2023. If it comes out first in an over-achieving Mini or Studio,
I may go that route, but would like to see a 24" or 27" iMac version.

OK... ...but why do you care if Apple releases yet more new models?

Why are you waiting for the M3 aside from a vague sense that you'll
"miss out" if you buy a new machine only to see a better one released in
6 months?

In my own case, I'm using a 2018 Mini bought in January 2019.
It still runs well, but I'm thinking of an m3pro Mini when
they hit the Apple refurbished store sometime in mid-2024.

I'll move the 2018 Mini to "the back table" where it will
live on, retiring the 2012 Mini that occupies that space now.

Clear enough above.

My primary aspiration is an iMac. The displays are very good and save
space on the desk.

iMac M1 released in 2021. If I get an M3 iMac (or Mini or Studio), I
won't be worried about "better in 6 months" but I will be set up for the
next 10 years.

The current Mac mini uses either the M2 or M2 Pro ARM64 chipset,
introduced January, 2023.

The latest rumors are that there will be some new Mac models released
this month, incuding a "refreshed" 24" iMac,

Apple rumored to launch new Macs in October

<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/10/22/apple-rumored-to-launch-new-macs-in-october>

Apple may still launch a 24-inch iMac in October

<https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/10/22/apple-rumored-to-launch-new-macs-in-october>

and that a 32" iMac will be released towards the end of 2024.

Larger 32-inch iMac Pro rumored to hit store shelves in late 2024

Battling claims. If this one is true, then it would likely not be the M3.
But if it is an M3 I will book it. If an M2 I might look at the higher
spec'd version "Pro" or whatever tag they add.

A little over the top for my needs.
